Dona CataThis is my favorite Mexican Restaurant. Things have changed from their tiny hole in the wall restaurant up the street that they used to occupy a few years back. This space is bigger and a lot nicer, the and the tacos went from $1.50 to $2.00 each.

This place is very authentic, from the Spanish speaking staff, the Mexican clientele although more and more gringos have found out about this spot and the old Mexican men eating there that were checking out my latin friend. There are about eight home made salsas that you can choose from to flavour up your tacos and chips.

The menu has became a lot bigger and now folds out to be four pages. This time we ordered some soft tacos ($2.00 each - different flavours al pastor/carnitas/carne enchilada/longaniza), tacos dorados ($6 - three small deep fried tacos, filled with chicken and then covered with feta, sour cream and lettuce ), and tacos del mercado ($ 10 - two tender cactus, enchilada meat, avocado slices, beans on corn tortillas with cilantro and onion). Every item was really tasty, I am partial to the deep fried things so I love my taco dorados.

Overall, if you got a car and want to take a mission, go to Dona Cata for some authentic Mexican food at a decent price.

This is the closest I have found in town which has inexpensively priced authentic tacos. I love their salsa bar and usually order the soft tacos with carmelized onions (which I have to share with my sister because she's too cheap to pay the extra).

I finally saw this place in the flesh (awesome!) today when I went by on the bus to get a back x-ray (not so awesome, but the technician was sweet).$2 tacos and two margaritas for $8! Wow! Maybe that's where I want to go on my birthday this weekend. Cool.
